====== Asian Film Heroes ======



The following listings include a number of characters from
Asian action films, such as //Azumi//, //Crouching Tiger//
and the like.



Many of the examples given here make use of some rules that
haven't yet made it into the main system, mostly because
they are specific to Asian martial art styles, and Yags is
currently focused on Western settings. The draft of these
rules are available as

was freed from prison, in order to make him
comparable to Azumi.
